How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Lie on your back perpendicular to a low cable, bend the knees, plant both feet, and hold the handle with both hands above the chest.
  2. 02Brace the abdomen, keep the pelvis level, and let the cable create tension from one side.
  3. 03Rotate the rib cage and hands away from the pulley through a smooth pain-free range while both feet stay grounded.
  4. 04Stop before the pelvis rolls or the arms swing independently of the torso.
  5. 05Return slowly, complete that direction, and reposition to train the opposite side.
